So I’ve been trying to make my way through Progit. I have accumulated a whole lot of information so far and I was afraid for how not so often I used it. That I was going to forget it all. Hence my decision to share some of that with you, and with my future self.
In this post we’ll look at something you probably have never read about in isolation, gitignore files.
The following is a collection of notes I took from reading the book on Git, Progit. Its a page I am still growing. (I got enough of the book to use Git with reasonable ease and have for long not updated the page). I am still sure it can be a good starting point or reference for most of the basics and more. I also include links to articles from Atlassian that I used for deep dives where I felt I needed more explanation. Hope this helps. Also, you should really check out the last chapter of the book Progit. I haven't added notes for it yet but it sure is an interesting read. It's on git internals and how the core commands work on the inside. (The plumbing commands that is).
